much larger comision

GoG, every console, play store, and Apple store take the same cut. Itch io is strange and takes a smaller cut but only indie games publish there in the first place. Epic and (windows) Microsoft store take 12%, but they fucking suck and you know they're evil fucks that would definitely fuck you and publishers over as hard as they could if they ever got the market share. I couldn't immediately find numbers for all the various publisher run stores (I'm not even sure if arbitrary games can sell on them) like the ubisoft one but they also fucking suck and are run by evil fucks.

It would be awesome if steam took a smaller cut, but complaining about it like it's not the same cut everyone else that has marketshare takes and accounting for the ones that do take less being garbage run by public companies trying to buy marketshare then enshitify is disingenuous.

I'm the US at least, animal agriculture is heavily subsidized, so consumers don't see what it actually costs. Supply/demand economics everyone learned in school rarely applies amidst the chicanery rampant everywhere.

Anyone paying attention knew this would be the case. The AI economy is a fucking shell game

LLMs don't add an abstraction layer. You can't competently produce software without understanding what they're outputting.

The CEO is the face. The board is involved in decisions of this magnitude.

Perp walks shouldn't be a thing in the first place. At it's best it's bullshit theater to drum up sentiment that someone is guilty pretrial

People tell me the hallucinations aren't a big deal because people should fact check everything.

  1. People aren't fact checking
  2. If you have to fact check every single thing you're not saving any time over becoming familiar with whatever the real source of info is

They're worried he will succeed and serve as an example that the people rather than money are in charge, if they could only realize it.

If they truly believed Democratic socialist policies had no legs, they'd leave him alone and watch him fail as an example.

That's cool and all, but the plan is to buy their way in by running at a massive loss then enshittify. Rather, even if that is not the current plan (it probably is), it will inevitably become the plan because it is a publicly traded company.

Oh no... anyway

Anything being less open is sad regardless of your opinion of the hardware.
